Climate change detection

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004340

The process of demonstrating that climate has changed in a statistically significant way, moving beyond the range of natural variability. This involves analyzing observational data to identify trends and shifts in climatic variables. Detection studies often compare observed changes against simulations from climate models that include both natural and anthropogenic forcings.
